Kane is very sick today, coming on the heels of a few bad days, today is the worst yet. Johnny and Aundrea were called by the Doctor around 6:30 am this morning. He has a tear in his lung. They have had to switch ventilators and put a tube in his chest to allow the air a place to get out of his body. They are having trouble keeping his oxygen levels up.
I will post more later as I know more. Aundrea is a little overwhelmed with texts and calls today. I know I have not posted in a few days, but I will post again later today, please hold tight and pray for him.
Later....10pm
On the 28th doctors found a hemorrhage in his lung, they had to change his ventilator, up his oxygen and start him on blood pressure medicine again. He had a fever and his blood pressure and heart rate were elevated. He was also given another blood transfusion.
The morning of the 29th he had a good night and his numbers were back down and blood gasses were coming back good, as a result his oxygen was lowered. That afternoon Aundrea said he was having a good day, numbers were stabilizing again, and oxygen was lowered again. The next few days he remained stable, not better or worse, just maintaining.
The evening of November 1st he continued to maintain, the hemorrhage had stopped and his numbers continued to stabilize. They also gave him meds that reduce swelling so he wasn't puffy, and looked better.
The news of the lung tear was received early this morning, by this afternoon his blood pressure was low and oxygen was up, two hours later, his heart rate was high, blood pressure low, and oxygen levels were OK. Dr's don't know what caused the tear, and are extremely worried about little Kane.
Tonight, he has a new tear in the same lung. They are putting in another tube that will allow the air from this tear to get out of his little body from this tear. I am not sure what happens from here, and what will happen if these tears persist. They are going to discuss what his prognosis is with his team of doctors.
He is strong and his body is fighting for him. Continue to pray for his strength and remain faithful this is a mere bump in the road for him and things will start looking up from here!!!
oh no! I haven't heard anything for a few days and I've been a little worried. I'm gonna keep praying for him! Please keep us updated, as I do not want to bother Aundrea when she has her precious little one to think about. My heart just aches! I'll be waiting for the update!
ReplyDeleteI know Amanda, it is a bummer! I have faith he will recover from this and bounce back!
ReplyDeleteI promise to keep the blog updated!
Ej told me that John had talked to him. He didnt explain everything completely but I figured it out. We never "got the call" But my friend Aimee got it 3 times and her son pulled thru. Babies are fighters. They know nothing other than survival. It IS horrible to watch them suffer and honestly I think we the parents suffer more. Kane has our prayers. I am so glad they decided to make this page so we dont have to bug them in this crisis.

Correction: the new tear is in his other lung. He has a tear in each lung and a tube in each side.

The little toy dog is covered with dust,
But sturdy and stanch he stands;
And the little toy soldier is red with rust,
And his musket moulds in his hands.
Time was when the little toy dog was new,
And the soldier was passing fair;
And that was the time when our Little Boy Blue
Kissed them and put them there.
"Now, don't you go till I come," he said,
"And don't you make any noise!"
So, toddling off to his trundle-bed,
He dreamt of the pretty toys;
And, as he was dreaming, an angel song
Awakened our Little Boy Blue---
Oh! the years are many, the years are long,
But the little toy friends are true!
Ay, faithful to Little Boy Blue they stand,
Each in the same old place---
Awaiting the touch of a little hand,
The smile of a little face;
And they wonder, as waiting the long years through
In the dust of that little chair,
What has become of our Little Boy Blue,
Since he kissed them and put them there.
Baby Kane went to be with Jesus this evening. My heart is broken :( No mother should ever lose her child, but God has called him home. Please pray for his mom and Dad to remain strong during this difficult time.
